I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I want to take a second to say some things about the FANCC, since there might actually be people interested in hearing it.Note: all of this is IMO, and not (necessarily) the opinion of the rest of the FANCC.I think the Fantasy Netbook Community Council is a great idea that suffers from poor implementation. The basic idea is to allow anyone to submit content, but to filter the content through the individual netbook teams. The teams help make the products better by providing advice and guidance. They also rate the content. In theory, nothing is turned away (except things that aren't legal). The worst that can happen is it's rated poorly and included anyway.The process of becoming elligable to submit content involves signing a document that makes your submissions legal. If the FANCC ever came under legal fire because of someone's submission, the Submission Document would be a leagal fallback. Great idea, but hard to implement. A lot of people get hung up here and give up before they start.Once you have that taken care of, you can submit content. On some teams, where there are few submissions, turn around time is not bad. On the Netbook of Classes, we recieved far more submissions than we could handle. We needed team members who could make real time commitments to review and advise, but it's difficult to do that. The dedication of some team members is very commendable - they spend a lot of time on it. Others aren't so good. They do the occasional review but weren't expecting that kind of workload. The Netbook of Classes burned through a lot of people who decided that they couldn't handle the time commitment. At this point, I can't either.FANCC is in desperate need of new blood to revamp the submission and content review system. I think we need a message board style setup, electronic Submission Documents, large numbers of reviewers who need to do less work (as opposed to a small number that does a large amount), more open (visable) review processes, etc... Anyway, new blood is good, and someone willing to get involved could go far.Here's some links, for those who had trouble:<a href="http://www.fancc.net" target="_blank">http://www.fancc.net</a><a href="http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fancc/" target="_blank">http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/fancc/</a></blockquote>
